Nir Popko, a 28-year-old civilian, was killed on Tuesday by a Hezbollah rocket strike in Kibbutz HaGoshrim in the Upper Galilee. The Lebanese terrorist organization fired about 10 rockets toward the Galilee, one of which exploded in the courtyard of a house in the kibbutz. Popko was critically injured by shrapnel, and Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics who arrived at the scene pronounced him dead after resuscitation efforts failed.
